Energy Type: Biomass Source: Sugar cane, wood, and wastes
How is this energy converted/transferred into usable energy?
Biomass is converted into energy by burning fuel then hot water produces steam, the steam changes to turbines; the turbine changed generators then creates electrical power.
How is this type of energy used today?
Biomass can be used for heat, a stove, a boiler, burned to get energy for a car, and burn garbage to make electricity.
Advantages:
Fuel is cheap
Less demand on fossil fuels
Use waste materials
Disadvantages:
Growing/collecting in quantities could be hard
Waste materials aren’t around all year
Burning biofuel makes greenhouse gases
Is this energy source renewable or non-renewable?
Biomass is a renewable energy source.
